I made this Gigapan image from the north press platform during President Obama's inaugural address at the U.S. Capitol in Washington, DC on January 20, 2009. It's made up of 220 images and the final image size is 59,783 X 24,658 pixels or 1,474 megapixels.

There are a few known stitching errors in this image. A NEW VERSION of the photo with most of the stitching errors corrected can be seen here:

Find the large PA speaker towards the bottom left
corner, to the right of which is a guy who is
glitched in an odd way. He is the only spectator I
can find who is facing the wrong direction and his
head is sliced and shifted. The error does not
affect anything surrounding him and I cannot find
any similar artifacts in the image. Can anyone
explain this? methoo.com

After seiing this i will definitly try such a
panorama on the next german election day with mrs.
merkel. the next election will be on sunday and
hopefully she will set before that a speach in one
of our cities. although there will never be as man
people there as with obama...i will shortly set
gigapan on www.borgmann-design.de with some exhibition
pictures indoors and hopefully a good shot with
Mrs. Merkel on the website GigaPan. feel free to
visit and leave a comment.

This is a really cool use of the Gigapan. Me and
my classmates at Rutgers University have used a
Gigapan to capture large portions of our campus
with some pretty impressive results(although not
nearly as impressive as this one). If you're
interested you can check out what we've done
on our website at whereru.rutgers.edu /
